Did Clinton, Kerry, and other Dems think Iraq had WMD??

Question

If memory serves me correctly, they DID say that.
It turns out we were WRONG.
Why do some say Bush lied about Iraq having WMD??
Or did they ALL lie??

Answer 1

Yeah, when Clinton was President, Iraq had WMDs. Since that time, they were eliminated. In 2003, Bush told Congress that Saddam had huge stockpiles of WMDs that were an immediate threat to our national security, so Congress voted to authorize Bush to use force IF NECESSARY to eliminate those WMDs. Without bothering to try ANYTHING else at all first, Bush launched a full-scale military invasion of Iraq by the United States because his goal the entire time was to oust Saddam in retaliation for Saddam's attempt to murder the first George Bush. There were no WMDs. Bush presented either outdated or false intel to Congress to support his case.

If it was outdated, then the President of the United States is criminally negligent.

If it was false, he lied.

You decide: either way, there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq at the time of the 2003 invasion.

Answer 2

"Did Clinton, Kerry, and other Dems think Iraq had WMD?? "

Nope, I don't think so. That's called "pillow talk", saying what you think people want to hear. At that time, It seemed most Americans were still so angry over 9/11 that they were just itching to hit back at anyone for even the lamest reasons. Kerry, Clinton and other Dems were just going with public sentiment. If they had not, they would have been seen as weaklings in the short term but by now would have been seen as right. Noone could truely be that stupid to believe the WMD story. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could both see there were no WMD's in Iraq. There are no honest politicians, just a bunch of elitists who will say anything to get elected.

Answer 3

Look are you really this stupid do you not know anything on real policy and who actually dictates it. I will give you a few things to research but not many have the brain power for this I hope you prove me wrong as some are so brainwashed there minds are like infants. Bohemian grove, Illuminati, Skull and Bones 322, Council on Foreign Relations, New World Order now go and wake up that brain of yours and thank me for it later

Answer 4

WHEN CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT MANY MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE OF THE AISLE FELT IRAQ WMDS. THEY VOTED FOR THE WAR UNDER PRESIDENT BUSH. IF YOU THINK THERE ARE NO WMDS JUST CHECK SYRIA & THE BEKKA VALLEY IN LEBANON WHERE THEY ARE HIDDEN. ALSO ENGLAND'S MI-6 & RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE REPORTED THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD WMDS.

Answer 5

They did have wmd remnants from the 80's and 90's, but no new wmds were found after 2002. The Bushies REFUSED to accept that, so therefore falsified intelligence.

Answer 6

They all thought Saddam had WMDs long before Bush was even elected.

Answer 7

Because they were "misinformed." But they were "misinformed" BEFORE Bush was President (Clinton had expressed concern about Iraq and WMDs while he was in office). Other countries were "misinformed" too.

But whether you agree with me or not, one point is indisputable. If you vote to go to war, then go to war, THEN find out the info was erroneous, you can't just say "I was misinformed" and wash your hands of it. I don't care who knew what. The President and Congress collectively got us over there, they need to collectively get us out.

Answer 8

Think? Yes.
Start a war, end thousands of lives to find out the reports were wrong? No. Give the public and congress a report and insist on kill now, find out later? No. Give the al qeada free target practice on our military? No.
So, wrong in theroy but not morality.

Answer 9

They were fooled by Bush's intelligence, as the rest of the world were (maybe except Germany and France)

Answer 10

Sure folks thought Iraq had this stuff,

Bush went further and made this an "imminent threat" , "yellowcake" with "mushroom clouds", "Mobile labs" "UAVs" (unmanned aerial vehicles), "Ycapable of spreading chemical weapons, AND that they had a connection with AQ (later Bush retracted this).

gee, seems like those WERE lies that no one else was spouting. And now we see former Press Sec. Ari Fleischer helping to create another TV Ad Campaign to sell this to the US public. Sad, isn't it?
